Spinach and Pancetta Strata - Pink Saturday

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...It's time for the April challenge at Recipes to Rival. This month's challenge, chosen by Temperama of High on the Hog, was a Giada De Laurentis recipe for a Spinach and Pancetta Strata. It's a wonderful recipe for this time of year. It can be assembled the night before serving and that makes it a natural for for a Mother's Day brunch. I cut all the ingredients in half, but made no other changes to the recipe we were asked to prepare. Those of you who have large families to entertain will appreciate the ease with which this can be assembled. The strata is simple to make and it uses readily available ingredients. It is also delicious. One of the nice things about Giada's recipes is their consistency. They are never great but they are always good and visually appealing. I hope you'll try this. You won't be disappointed. Here's the recipe.Spinach and Pancetta Strata...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite, courtesy of Giada De Laurentis from Everyday Italian episode: My Family Favorites

This sounds like a good recipe for the challenge! I love cooking spinach in this way cause not many of them like it raw. And I love all the ingredients you put in there too. Looks so tempting!You have a great weekend too!Best wishes,Kristy

Giada's recipes are always reliable, which is probably what is so great about them. I've never made a strata before, but seeing as how it falls into the bread pudding family, I am definitely going to have to! Love the spinach and pancetta combo.

This is a perfect brunch recipe for Mother's Day. Lovely recipe. I have never made a strata or a fritata, so I think I will have to try my hand at this one.

I do have to disagree with you and some of your commenters. I love Giada, and she does have some pretty fantastic recipes out there. No they are not all outstanding, you just have to pick and choose. For instance she has a recipe on FN for: Grilled Meats and Vegetables over Saffron Orzo" which I have made on more than one occasion that is absolutely delicious. Also her "Artichoke Gratinata" which received rave reviews from Kim at Stirring the Pot. Sorry, but I just adore her and I love Italian food.
